The Toad and Its Prey.
From Nature.

The accuracy of aim in the young toad is
similar to the accuracy with which the
young quail or chicken picks up grain. A
young chicken. having only its head out OF
the shell, picked up fly that lighted near
it, And said Mr.. Calthrop, when you con-
slider the nice cooperation of nervous and
muscular movements necessary to this feat,
you will perceive that the chicken must
have been practicing fly catching IN the
person of its ancestry for thousands or mil
lions of years. But | once had curious
proof that the toad is capable OF improve
ment by practice.
Under beehive / observed for several
successive summers q toad watching for
overloaded bees who failed TO reach the
threshold of the hive No sooner did they
fall on the ground than he snapped them up.
But one day l saw be had lost by some acct
dent his right eye, and when he struck at a
bee he lost his aim, and picked up dirt from
one side of the bee. He wiped his mouth
with his forepaw and tried again aud again.
The bee generally managed to climb to the
top of some little prominence on the ground
and fly away before the toad succeeded.
The poor fellow was half starved and grew
thin, but observed before the summer was
ended he had learned to aim as correctly
with one eye as he used to with two, and
had again recovered his plumpness.

cheating the Partisan city chest, of which
the museum contains evidence, was elabor-
ated by a gentleman who was in the habit
of driving his elegant victoria every even
ing past the barrier at the entrance to the
Bois de Boulogne. He was always accom-
panied by smart groom who slumbered
peacefully upon the box while his master
drove. Shortly sufficiently
long to allow the gentleman to make the
regulation tour du lac"-the carriage
would return; and the official became so
accustomed TO its passage that they ceased
to examine it, and the owner drove back
into Paris at a smart trot. courteously re-
turning their salutations with his whip.
That smart trot was his undoing. One
evening the victoria ran into q heavy
wagon and master and groom were thrown
out. Monsieur was picked up insensible,
while from deep wound in the head of the
groom slowly trickled a stream Of
Champagne. The interesting menlal was
composed of zinc dexterously fashioned and
painted; and he has found a resting place in
his smugglers museum. The carriage was
found to contain zinc well" which was
likewise full of champagne. India rubber
dress improvers, arranged to conceal
articles of contraband, have often been
seized while not the least curious exhibit is
an india rubber baby capable of containing
is pints of untaxed liquor.

CAUGHT AFTER ELEVEN YEARS.
The Remarkable Story of the Dual
Life of Henry S. Volkmar.

Life of Henry S. Volkmar.
From. the Philadelphia Times
When the Chicago express came into the
Broad street station Monday night, two
travel-stained men in light suits jumped off
the front car. One was Detective We'll. of
this city. The other was 5-year-old Alfred
H. Lewis, of Millbank, Oak, who, as Henry
P. Voll1mar, fled from Philadelphia in the
centennial year, while under heavy bail on
the charge of arson. After eleven years he
was brought back to answer for his alleged
crime.
%SVolkmar was printer in the Star build
ing, 18th and Jayne streets. On May l, 1879,
a fire broke out in Volltmar'S office, and he
collected the insurance on the place. On the
night of January 1, 1876, another fire was
discovered in Voll1mar's printing office by III
spector Hauk, OF the gas office. 1t was soon
extinguished and on the floor was found a
fuse filed with powder and waste paper
The fuse ran from a closet to the center of
the floor. There was $4,000 insurance on
the establishment, and Volkmar was ar
rested by Fire Marshal Thompson on the
charge of arson. Volkmar was released on
5000 bail, his father-in-law being the
bondsman. When the case was called for
trial Volkmar had fed
1880 three men appeared in lonely part
of Grant county, Dakotah, and started a
settlement. The fates favored them, and the
place prospered them 1t was called Mill
bank, and now boasts of bustling popula-
ton, three banks, an opera house and two
newspapers. One of the founders was the
bright-faced young man known as Alfred H.
Lewis. He became the owner and editor of
an influential paper, The Grant County Re
rjelC: was postmaster Of the town for over
four years. and last June was appointed a
member of the staff of Gov. Church, of
Dakota. In the early part of last week a
stranger came to Millbank He had been
in the town two days when he placed Editor
Lewis under arrest. The stranger was De-
tective We'll, and he said Lewis was wanted
in Philadelphia for arson.
The news of the arrest of Millbanks most
prominent citizen fell like bomb among
the people, and there was the greatest ex
element. His wife, lovely young woman,
was overcome with grief Volkmar, under
his assumed name, had lived blameless life
in Dakota, and his energy and intelligence
had made him the idol of the people of Grant
county As Democratic politician he had
the county seat of Grant county removed to
Millbank, and he had the brightest pros
poets before him when the detective from
the east appeared Volkmar said he was
willing to come back without requisition,
and when Detective We'll and his prisoner
left Millbank the whole town accompanied
them to the station and gave spontaneous
expressions of sympathy for their towns
man. 1t was only since Fire Marshal
Thompson resumed his old office that he
learned where Volkmar was located, and
sent the detective on his errand to the West.
